Main Point Question (implied conclusion)

E.T.90066-1 · March 2014

I have noticed that in main point questions the conclusion is not clearly present sometimes, and when this happens, it is very important that one uses the premises and context to anticipate a conclusion. Examples of this(referential phrasing) occurs in PT28, LR2 Section 3 and PT 30, LR 1, Section 2. Does anyone have any thoughts?

I think a better parameter to follow is seeing the relationship between premise(s) and conclusion(s). The harder main point questions are cleverly veiled so as to make it hard to distinguish which element is the premise/conclusion.

Howdy, Stranger!
